Summary

Michael Harris argues that amid all the changes we're experiencing, the most interesting is the one that future generations will find hardest to grasp: that is, the end of absence - the loss of lack. The daydreaming silences in our lives are filled; the burning solitudes are extinguished. There's no true 'free time' when you carry a smartphone. Today's rarest commodity is the chance to be alone with your own thoughts.
